Hey everyone, obviously new here, and I joined to determine this... I just picked up the 2007 Silverburst Reissue RD. Im trying to determine what number of 400 I have, if there is even a way to find out by just serial number alone? thanks for the help!

 

SN is: 034970674

Hi,

Kind regards,

 

Stijn

 

thanks for your response how do some people know their number? did they come with certificate when people got them new?

I think it would come with something like a certificate of authenticity that would state what production number it is with the serial number on it, at least that would be the easiest way about doing it, similar to a warranty card that you would register with the company.

I have one as well and I do not believe that I have anything indicating 400 production run or which # of 400 that I own. I do not think any of the GOW models had production # of 400 indicators. I also had a the LP BFG Studio GOW model and did not know which it was either. Knowing it was a GOW model and only 400 were available is cool :)

I bought a few of the GOW axes and none came with any certificates nor any numerical ID. So, it's kind of like asking Mr. Owl "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie-Pop"? The world may never know.

They came with nothing. Not even instructions or a manuel specific to the guitar, but just the generic GIBSON USA stuff (common instructions for most Gibsom models).

 

They were not Custom shop models, they were built by the standard Gibson factory by the standard Gibson poeple.

 

I think that is what makes them so cool. It gave the regular Gibson factory poeple a chance to do something special, as well as show what they could do. It also showcased what the "standard" Gibson production was capable of.

 

And, they were at GIBSON USA prices.

That is probably the coolest way of looking at it that I've heard.

 

I've got a few of the '07 GOTW's and none of mine came with anything that marked them as "special" either except that every once in a while someone might ask "where did you get THAT?"
